the last question, I thought that Lenin didn't want to control culture in this time, and that is was during Stalin's rule that culture was completely controlled? Lenin believed culture to be more important than Communism and that old should be mixed with new.

I agree with Eleanor...the last part of question 7 is in fact false as he wanted art to be free and not relate to Russian society.
